Answer:

gravitation field strength: 5 N/kg

Explanation:

Weight(N) = mass(kg) * gravitational field strength(N/kg)

Here given the mass: 5 kg and weight: 25 N

make sure the units are proper and make change only if different units visible. Like mass given in grams and covert it into kg. *must* and sometimes weight given in kilo-newton covert it into Newtons. *must*

using the formula:

5 * gravitational field strength = 25

gravitational field strength = 25/5

gravitational field strength = 5 N/kg

Answer:

ExplanaThis is a way of measuring how much gravity there is. The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength.

Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass unit is N/kg

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength unit is N

On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg. You might have seen films of astronauts leaping high on the moon.

Here on Earth, if I jump I am pulled back to ground by gravity. What is my weight? My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N. So I have different weights on the Earth and on the Moon. That's why astronauts can jump high into the air on the moon - they're lighter up there.

Jupiter is a very large planet with strong gravitational field strength of 25 N/ kg. My body is 80kg. If I go to Jupiter my weight is going to be 25 x 80 = 2,000 N. That means I wouldn't be able to get off the ground or stand up straight! I would probably be lying down all the time there. So weight varies depending on which planet you are on. You can find out more yourself by looking up tables of weight on different planets.tion:

1.Suppose someone pulls a cart up a ramp a distance of 85cm along the ramp with a force of 15N.

Drupady [299]

1. 12.75 J

Assuming that the force applied is parallel to the ramp, so it is parallel to the displacement of the cart, the work done by the force is

$W=Fd$

where

F = 15 N is the magnitude of the force

d = 85 cm = 0.85 m is the displacement of the cart

Substituting in the formula, we get

$W=(15 N)(0.85 m)=12.75 J$

2. 10.6 N

In this part, the cart reaches the same vertical height as in part A. This means that the same work has been done (because the work done is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the object: but if the vertical height reached is the same, then the gain in gravitational potential energy is the same, so the work done must be the same).

Therefore, the work done is

$W=Fd=12.75 J$
